Goal
Make the architecture easier to understand for people discovering the package.
Context
A common point of confusion is that Mobile Ink is packaged for React Native, but the ink surface itself is a custom native MTKView backed by a C++ Skia engine. It depends on React Native Skia for native Skia libraries/headers, but it does not render strokes through React Native Skia's React <Canvas> API.
Suggested Scope
- Add a small diagram or bullet list to
README.md or docs/architecture.md.
- Show the relationship between:
- React Native TypeScript components
- native iOS bridge/view managers
MTKView- C++
SkiaDrawingEngine
- serialization/export helpers
- Keep it beginner-friendly and avoid internal product details.
Done When
- A new contributor can quickly explain where React Native ends and the native drawing engine begins.
